the law courts w H. Smith, in reply to
a question by Mr.. Robertson stated that the
| government was unable to inform the House

expedite the public business He refused to
disclose the nature of the measures.
Mr.. Odoherty having moved an amend
ment to the crimes bill, Mr. Parnell inter
posed, saying that, owing to the advanced
| stage of the session and the large number Of
important matters that had not yet been re-
bated, he would suggest that his friends
move only such amendments as they re-
| garded as Indispensable. 1t was obvious, he

discussion of the smaller points. Mr.. Odo-
| herty thereupon withdrew his amendments

MORE PAIL MALL GAZETTE" CASES.
Since the revelations made by the Pail
| Mall Gazette and the passage of the crimi-
nal law amendment bill the public have be-
lieved the traffic in children to be impos-
sible. The case in the Lambeth Police
Court has therefore caused a sensation of
universal horror. Edward Procknell and
three women were arrested charged with
keeping houses of i'll repute, and with hav-
ing procured for their patrons scores of
girls from 10 to IA years of age. The pris-
oners and their victims were all of humble
rank, and the evidence so far adduced
proves that the seducers Of the girls belong
to the same class. The government will
prosecute the prisoners, all of whom were
remanded. Detective Stephens, who is in
the employ of the Reformatory and Refuge
| Union and who has taken the principal part
in bringing to light these crimes, states that
during thr past four years be has rescued
400 girls between the ages of 4 1-3 and II
| years from lives of crime.
